If you missed "War and Fleas," the water ballet based real, real, real loosely on the Leo Tolstoy mega-novel "War and Peace," you have another chance this weekend.

The show was held at the Riverside Park pool last weekend, and moves to the Patterson Park pool this weekend, with 5 and 7 p.m. performances Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $8.

For a story I wrote on the water ballet last week (find it here), I attended one of the rehearsals by Fluid Movement, the community performance art group that's putting on the show.

Seeing just a few pieces rehearsed, I was prepared for a silly and disjointed hour of entertainment when I arrived for the real deal Saturday and took a poolside seat -- a little too poolside given the splashing around.

It wasn't disjointed at all. I would go so far as to call it jointed, and pretty darn synchronized to boot.

Sure, there are fleas serving as narrators and a war between dogs and squirrels and a love triangle that includes a pink poodle. But it all came together, umm, swimmingly.

I left both satisfied and with the rear of my jeans drenched from sitting too close to the pool. I blame the squirrels.
